release of ‘Blueprints‘ by Mary Bee!
a while back, Mary moved out to LA to
pursue her music career. before moving
she was a big part of the Providence
scene and has always been a friend of
the ‘Mericans (she even hosted a house
concert for us in LA not long ago).

and the ‘Mericans will be playing their
first show of 2015 on Friday 3rd April withArc Iris as part of their Zoetical Festival which
will be happening every Friday night in April atAurora in Downtown Providence and we’re
honored to be part of it and playing
the festival’s opening night.

the ‘Mericans are working on / writing a new album! that means
less shows in the coming months, but there will be something special
on Saturday 1st November 2014. it’ll be a Halloween thing, and also
to help our friends at the Parlour celebrate their Anniversary.for this
show the ‘Mericans will be dressing and playing as Spinal Tap!

every year the ‘Mericans play City Farm in Providence for the annual Southside Community Land Trust Rare + Unusual Plant Sale and this year is no exception! we’ll be playing unplugged and acoustic surrounded by plants and lovely people! stop by to hear us over in front of the SCLT chicken coop at Noon or so. the sale runs from Saturday 18th – Sunday 19th and is open 10am-2pm each day. we’re kinda closing the weekend out.

Sunday 19th January 2014

the lineup for the Sunday 19th January Show is amazing and diverse. this show will also be at the Parlour in Providence and will feature sets by bands that the ‘Mericans covered for their new album ‘A Tribute to Providence. besides the Purple Ivy Shadows Reunion, the 1990s beloved indie pop band the Nonpareils will also be reuniting for this show! Allysen Callery will be playing a set too. The Low Anthem were covered on ‘A Tribute . . .’ but they declined our invitation to play this show, so we’ve booked Arc Iris instead! a while back, Jocie Adams left the Low Anthem to pursue her own music, and Arc Iris is it – and it’s excellent. initially it was going to be Pete Donnelly representing the Figgs for this, but now all the Figgs are playing! Pete mixed and mastered ‘A Tribute to Providence’ (and 2 other ‘Mericans albums!) and not only do we love his work on our records, but also his own songs as well. in 2012 we were treated to reunions of ’90s indie legends Small Factory and Honeybunch, and while we would’ve loved it if Small Factory could join us for this show, we couldn’t make that happen – but Honeybunch is playing, and they’re always a treat to see! and then there’s Purple Ivy Shadows who haven’t played together since 2002. there would be no the ‘Mericans if not for Purple Ivy Shadows – ‘Mericans singer / guitarist Chris Daltry moved to Providence in 1993 with his old band PIS and has stayed here ever since. also note that Purple Ivy drummer Frank Mullin will be playing with the Nonpareils too. representing Scarce will be a great new band called Reindeer which is made up of 3/4 of Scarce and fronted by Seana Carmody who used to be in The Swirlies back in the ’90s. they’re great and you can hear them here. and last but not least is the Brother Kite who’s new album‘Model Rocket’ is incredible.
